Chapter 573: Clearly Locked The Door

Su Wan quivered and stood rooted to the ground.

She looked at the tall man in front of her in astonishment, not knowing what the words Jiang Xuecheng said meant.

There wasn’t even a subject. Who was going to bathe?

Was he going to take a bath, or did he ask her to take a bath, or to take a bath together…

Because of the thought that popped up in her mind, Su Wan was shocked and subconsciously took a step back.

It was not that she had never bathed with Jiang Xuecheng before, but at least until Jiang Xuecheng recovered its memories, she did not want to.

Since last night, she had been a little afraid of him.

“No!”

Seeing this woman hiding behind him, the emperor’s eyes suddenly darkened, with a trace of undetectable displeasure.

Su Wan’s face was burning hot. She waved her hand in confusion and almost refused without thinking.

“No, no need, Your Highness… Your Highness, you can wash yourself.”

Su Wan stuttered and barely managed to express her meaning clearly.

She was here to apply for the position of chef, not to bathe Jiang Xuecheng.

The emperor’s phoenix-like eyes were deep. He stared at Su Wan’s reddened ears without blinking and suddenly sneered.

What was this woman thinking?

Why was she blushing?

She couldn’t possibly think that he was going to do something to her, right?

If he hadn’t been drugged, that night’s incident wouldn’t have happened. She was really overthinking things.

“Who said I’m going to take a shower? Aren’t you tired? There’s a hot spring here. You can soak in it to relieve your fatigue.”

Although the other party’s tone was mixed with mockery, Su Wan didn’t know why, but her heart felt as if it was touched by something, and it felt slightly warm.

She had only casually mentioned it earlier, but she did not expect that Jiang Xuecheng would remember it in his heart. In Su Wan’s memories, Jiang Xuecheng rarely cared about others.

Although he did not remember her, did this mean that Jiang Xuecheng still subconsciously felt that she was a little special?

Su Wan parted the corners of her lips. She was immersed in a subtle sense of joy and was a little absent-minded.

Seeing Su Wan’s expression change so quickly, one moment she was frightened and the next moment she was giggling foolishly, the emperor furrowed his brows. He truly felt that there was something wrong with this woman.

To think that he had previously thought that Su Wan was still quite smart. Now that he looked at her, he reckoned that her brain was not working properly.

The emperor was silent for a second. His phoenix-like eyes swept past Su Wan who had been standing there foolishly. Finally, he could not help but remind her.

“What are you still standing there for?”

Hearing the impatient voice beside her ear, Su Wan finally came back to her senses.

Su Wan nodded at Jiang Xuecheng. Just as she was about to walk forward, she suddenly remembered two things.

“About that… where is the bath? Are there women’s clothes?”

She could not come out wearing the same clothes…

The man glanced at Su Wan coldly and spoke. Just when Su Wan thought he would not answer, she suddenly heard the answer.

“Go to the end of the corridor and push open the last door. I’ve asked someone to prepare the clothes.”

Su Wan’s almond-shaped eyes widened. She quickly nodded. “Thank you, Your Highness.”

As Su Wan spoke, she strode forward and walked towards the corridor without looking back.

The moment Su Wan pushed open the door at the end of the corridor, she was immediately shocked.

The size of this open-air bath was much larger than Su Wan had imagined. It was almost the size of a bedroom.

In front of her was a path paved with cobblestone. There was a hand-painted classical screen blocking the entrance of the hot spring. Birds, insects, and fish were embroidered on it. The artistic conception was quite ancient.

Because this villa was located at the peak of the mountains, looking out from the pool, one could still see the green trees in the distance.

The people of the upper class knew how to enjoy themselves, no matter where they were placed.

Su Wan sighed in her heart. Then, she carefully took off her shoes. Just as she was about to walk on the cobblestone path, she suddenly thought of something.

Judging from the luxury of this hot spring, it should be the personal bath of the Emperor of the God’s Palace, right?

No one would suddenly barge in, but Su Wan felt that it was better to be safe than sorry. Otherwise, she would have no place to cry.

Su Wan quickly ran back and locked the door.

Su Wan removed her clothes, changed into a white towel, and slowly walked into the pool.

The spring water was not hot, but slightly warm. The spring water flowed on her body, making her feel very comfortable.

Smelling the fragrance of flowers in the air, Su Wan could not help but take a deep breath. She instantly felt refreshed.

The surroundings were quiet. Su Wan leaned against the slightly cold stone wall. Her tired body was comforted by the spring water. She felt very comfortable.

Gradually, Su Wan closed her eyes.

She was really tired. She did not have a good rest last night. She wanted to take a nap.

The Emperor sat on the sofa. He glanced at the wall clock hanging on the wall and realized that more than forty minutes had passed.

The woman had not come out yet. Could she have fallen asleep in there?

The spring water was very effective in relieving fatigue, but it was not suitable to soak in it for too long.

The emperor frowned. He thought for a moment and finally walked towards the corridor.

The afternoon sunlight penetrated the screen beside the bath, leaving a mottled shadow.

Through the screen, the man could see a figure from afar. It was Su Wan half-leaning against the stone wall of the spring.

The plain-colored shirt reflected on her fair shoulders, giving off a luster that was even more beautiful than jade. It was almost transparent, giving off a soul-stirring feeling.

Seeing Su Wan, the emperor’s throat tightened, and he suddenly became absent-minded.

He thought of last night, when the girl was tightly held in his arms. Her face was dyed crimson, and her eyes were full of tears, but they did not flow.

At that time, he really wanted her to speak.

Su Wan’s interstellar common language was very rough, but her voice was very pleasant. Even if it was only a short whimper, it made his heart and mind shake for a long time.

However, she gritted her teeth and refused to spill a single word.

At that time, he thought that if she begged for mercy, he would let her go, but she did not.

With the drug and the unwillingness in his heart, he felt like a devil, torturing her as hard as he could.

He looked at her watery eyes and saw that she was branded with his marks all over her body.

The memory of last night seemed to still be vivid in his mind.

Earlier in the coffee shop, when he saw Fiennes and Su Wan talking happily, he didn’t know why he was holding a kind of anger in his heart.

So he brought her here. Then what happened?

After losing the excuse of last night’s drugging, he suddenly did not know how to explain his current feelings.

The emperor’s eyes darkened. He looked at Su Wan’s round shoulders from afar and suddenly did not dare to take another step forward.

His eyelids were drowsy. Suddenly, Su Wan felt that someone was looking at her. That lingering gaze made her very uncomfortable.

No, she had locked the door behind her. How could someone be looking at her?!
